Can I take the credit for service tax paid for input services taken if the service provider has taken the abatment on that perticular service?

Say if My Company has paid to a travel agent for services taken from that travel agency,and that travel agency has taken abatment.then can I take credit for the service tax paid to that travel agency?The service provider has charged service tax @ 4.12% on assessable value.

These special services provided by a builder to the prospective buyers, such as providing preferential location or external or internal development of complexes on extra charges is now taxable [Section 65 (105) (zzzzu)].

Hello,

I am working with Overseas Education Consultants. We receive commission from Foreign Universities when student joins the college, than only we receive our commissions. Sometimes students pays full course fee to us, we ontheir behalf pays their fees to the universities after deducting our commission for which we are taking their approval. So such commission is taxable? Whether exempted as we are exporting our services.Please guide. Also we are claiming for reimbursement of expenses like salary, travelling, rent, Advertisement, Sales Promotions Exps. Such reimbursement amount is also chargeable for service tax. Please guide me.

input service tax credit can be claimed only when the payment for the bill has been made. what is the provision with regards to the output service tax payable. is it to be paid after the amount for the bill raised has been received or it is to be paid by the end on the month/quarter of making the sale bill to the party?
the firm, pays excise as well as service tax. input service tax credit is utilised for payment of excise duty as and when the payment of bills having service tax is made and output service tax is paid in full. whether output service tax is to be paid on receipt of amount from the party(as in case of input service tax) or on booking the sale?

Hi! CA Friends

Our client has done 2/3 services under service tax registration, who is actual a trader, purchase and sell the items under VAT registration.

In recent activity, one day the VAT authorities are came and audit the things.
In that they search the ITRs/VAT returns/ST returns,
and concluded that for the service tax paid items/services again they are asking VAT.

Is it correct or not under AP VAT. Suggest...
